As a representational figurative artist, Han Dai-Yu's work is a dialogue between contemporary reality and a culture of tradition, creating a visual meditation for the mind and soul. Inspired by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon BP Oil Spill, his current project, Defiled Beauty, explores various forms of pollution, defilement, and damage brought upon humanity by ambition, desire, and greed.
